# Push notifications With Cerby’s push notifications, you can receive real-time alerts directly in your Cerby dashboard. When you enable this feature, Cerby immediately notifies you whenever a new trusted device is added to your workspace, enabling you to approve or deny access with just a single tap, ensuring you're always in control. The following are some of the benefits you get by turning on push notifications: * **Immediate visibility:** Get a prompt notification when a device is onboarded, rather than discovering it later through your profile. * **One-tap approval:** Review the device details and approve or reject new trusted devices directly from the notification. {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE:** At the moment, Cerby shows notifications when onboarding a new trusted device. {% endhint %} *** *** ## How push notifications work With Cerby’s push notifications, the process to onboard a new trusted device is simplified as follows: 1. Turn on push notifications in your Cerby dashboard. 2. When Cerby detects an onboarding request from an unrecognized device, it automatically sends you a push notification directly to your Cerby dashboard, as shown in **Figure 1**.

3. Click the notification buttons to approve or reject the new device: * **Approve:** Adds the device to your trusted list and finishes onboarding. * **Deny:** Rejects the onboarding of the new device and keeps its session as not trusted. And, that’s it. *** ## Turn on Cerby’s push notifications To turn on push notifications for your Cerby account, you must complete the following steps: 1.
